[Rarebooks] FS: John Crowe Ransom's first book in very scarce dustwrapper

[Charles Agvent]

RANSOM,  John  Crowe. POEMS ABOUT GOD. New York:  Henry  Holt  and
Company  1919.  First Edition. Original brown paper boards with  paper
label  on  the  front  board and spine, in  the  very  scarce  printed
dustwrapper.  Ransom's first book consisting of poems written while he
was  a  cadet and later an officer in in World War I. The  dustwrapper
is complete but for slight loss along each flap fold and a vertical 2-
1/2"  chip  along the spine edge and rear panel that is no wider  than
1/4".  Copies in any decent dustwrapper are virtually unknown with the
only  one  appearing at auction in the last 30 years being the  Doheny
copy  that  sold in 1988 for $1100 plus premium. Fine in Very Good  or
better dustwrapper.                                           $2500.00
